      I was growing up in the 60's and 70's, but I too, miss the 80's because as I was in my 20's, as you said, the music wasn't serious. The music was cool & also the Rap music was funny with Run DMC's, "You be illin' and You Talk Too Much," not like the craziness in the evolution of the music playing now. Much of it, I really have a tough time listening to! Music now, to me, lacks heart, soul, passion & substance. 😢

    • @DudeEM
      @DudeEM 7 місяців тому

      Of course it didn’t work out for them. They were exploited. Their fame skyrocketed to such heights same goes with their record sales but they were practically slaves for the recording company. They went unpaid for months despite sleepless nights for engagements and when payday came…… they all had to divide $30,000 (I thinks that was what the documentary said or maybe lower) after all those unpaid months. Their parents were struggling with their own jobs just so that the group could at least eat some cereals everyday.
      Their group wasn’t going to work because the upper management of the recording company who hired them were the devils.

      No wonder they wanted to put him front and center...he “had the look” per the line from the UnSung documentary. And they were oh so right-he was always by FAR the hottest Jet brother. I could see that when their first video popped up on MTV, and always looked for him in subsequent videos and photo spreads. He was 🔥.

    • @paidenthusiast
      @paidenthusiast 5 років тому +12

      LynRuiz I think this person is implying that Haini was the lead singer on this particular song. I think anybody who grew up on The Jets music knows that Elizabeth was undoubtedly the lead singer of the group but The Jets’s producer and their songwriter didn’t want her singing a song like this due to her being so young at the time (she was only 14) and was afraid of the potential negativity that they would’ve probably received so Haini who was 18 was given the role. Because this song was a big hit for The Jets, Haini started being in front more with Elizabeth, with Elizabeth still being the focal point of the group of course

    This is quintessential pop music. If you want a candy bop, it doesn't get better than this. I remember the summer of 1987, being young and free, and going to the beach everyday. Much more innocent of a time! Right after this NWA Gangster rap, and 2Live Crew got very popular, and everything changed.

And the iconic line, "AND ALL THAT I CAN SAAAAY!!!!" 🙌🙌🙌 Walking around as a little kid talkin bout "I can rock it to you!!", not even fully grasping the concept of what those words meant back then!!! 🤣😅 Love it!!

      It's frankly disturbing the likes of Miley and Britney have had (unjustifiably) longer shelf lives than these guys did. If only PR people in the music industry were as invested in trying to keep talent in the spotlight as they are today...

      You can't stand today's music because you're still alive and we are glad. I can assure you, you didn't enjoy your parents music either. I'm 47, I grew up listening to some great musicians but times change. Like who you like and when you like the genre but be open minded. I am pretty sure you can't listen to just violins, violas or as a kid like your parents once did either.

    IT'S 11AM IN EAST POINT/ATLANTA GA. AND SOME HOW THIS GROUP CROSSED MY MIND. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY THE JETS . I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THIS THIS GROUP WHEN I FIRST SAW THEM ON VIDEO SOUL HOSTED BY DONNIE SIMPSON. MTV, VH1, AND OTHER VIDEO STATIONS GAVE THEM AIR PLAY. THEY WERE A PROMISING GROUP HEADING FOR BIGGER VENUE , BUT BAD PROMOTION AND RISK TAKING DECISIONS BROUGHT THEM TO A SCREECHING HALT. THEY HAD WHAT IT TOOK TO SUCCEED BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE GOOD MANAGEMENT WHO BELIEVED IN THEM. AND THEY WENT THEIR SEPARATE WAYS. BUT THROUGH IT ALL THEY LEFT SOME GREAT 🎶🎶🎶 MUSIC.

    When I first heard this song and watched the video Rocket To You on UA-cam it kinda felt like it was released in 1985 or 1986 because it was taken from their self-titled album. After watching it and looking up so much detail about the song, I have checked it, and it was from 1987, and hit had it the charts back in 1988 which it was before or after Make It Real.
